IMPROVED MODE OI PLATING, COATING, AND ORNAMEN'I'ING ARTICLES OF IRON AN D s'rnnn M The Schedule. referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same M I then coat the parts from which the japan or var 'nish has been removed with tin-solder or other metal, such as commonly used, uniting the non-corrodible metals, such as silver with iron. A number of these mav be used, but I prefer tin-solder.

I next plate with sheet-metal by the ordinary silver close-plating process the parts which have been tinned or otherwise coated. This,'with the usual burnishing, completes the article.

Having thus described my invention,
